For my part, I was a little uneasy among them, as they went walloping and frisking around me, flouncing and rolling over each other on the stone floor, and making, every now and then, the most hideous noises that it ever came into a dog's head to conceive.
I want to impress on your mind that it was only through her saying she was agreeable to your coming here that we agreed to the elder's request and let you come." "She did, eh?" cried Ida May, flouncing in her chair. "Well, I don't thank her." "No. I cal'late you ain't of a thanking disposition," said Cap'n Ira. "But you like enough won't drop your bread butter-side down. That's all."
"In the little room at the end of the passage." "Then, where shall I keep the linen press?" "Can't it stand in the back entry? I should think the space between the windows would accommodate it." "I suppose it must," said Mrs. Ellis, flouncing out of the room, and muttering to herself, "everything turned topsy-turvy for the sake of that little upstart!" Mrs. Ellis was vexed.
Well, none of the girls I know bother with such books: there are too many lively ones written nowadays. Call me when supper is ready, for I'm hungry." And she adjusted her curls before flouncing into the bedroom to lose herself in the adventures of the patchouli heroine. It was a quiet evening at the Barton home.
Now, between the italian-ironing of frills, the flouncing of trousers, the trimming of frocks, the faintings and the comings-to again, incidental to the occasion, Mrs Kenwigs had been so entirely occupied, that she had not observed, until within half an hour before, that the flaxen tails of Miss Morleena's hair were, in a manner, run to seed; and that, unless she were put under the hands of a skilful hairdresser, she never could achieve that signal triumph over the daughters of all other people, anything less than which would be tantamount to defeat.
Whether it were the absence of Theodora, or some other cause, he was brusk, ungracious, scowling, and silent, only nodding to the bishop, who benignly saluted him, refusing every dish that was offered; then getting up, and helping himself at the side-table, making a great noise with the carving instruments, and flouncing down his plate when he resumed his seat. Nor was his costume correct.
But bless you! ma'am, she is as pert and flouncing a minx as ever you met with in all your days! 'You must have a great deal of trouble with them, ma'am, said Mrs. Orange. 'Ah, I have, indeed, ma'am! said Mrs. Lemon.
'I can't help myself! cried Mr Boffin, flouncing on the settle in a forlorn manner, with his hands deep in his pockets, as if his pockets had sunk. 'What's the good of my pretending to stand out, when I can't help myself? I must give in to the terms. But I should like to see the document.
The Lord only knows what the world's a comin' to. 'And the Lord only cares, I don't, said Mrs. Maloney, flouncing off. Macarty needn't think she was talked down, if she did, now and then, get in a word that she had picked up out to service, that the rest of the folks in the block could not understand. One of the Maloney's, direct from Galway, wasn't to be put down by any low Irish.
A pink and white young lady, with black tresses, violent, weeping, shrill, voluble, was flouncing up the last stair, and shook her dress out on the lobby; and poor old Giblets, as Milly used to call him, was following in her wake, with many small remonstrances and entreaties, perfectly unheeded.
